how was it a waste of time when it set up the plot?
are you dense? are you retarded or something? the raid on the Lemurian Star sets up that Fury knows something's going on in SHIELD, the first hour also establishes Steve doesn't trust Fury, introduces and establishes Rumlow, Falcon and Pierce and the Insight project and restablishes Fury, Widow and Cap. |

SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!
Does it bug anybody else that the first hour of the winter soldier is a complete wast of time ? Good god, all the pointless crap and 9 diff. mini conversations about pointless things and they couldn't sqweez in 2 minutes to show Captain American stealing Falcons wing pack ? This is a perfect example of a movie that did not have to be made in the Marvel Movie Universe. They made the hulk, iron man, thor, cap. america movies so that they could make the Avengers movie. stop there please. There going to kill the Marvel movie brand if they keep making bad movies like this. ( On that note, they just borrowed the script from Iron Man 3 " everybody turns against the hero " ) I have been spoiled by the Dark Night trilogy being so dark. Now i want all my comic movie to be like that. It bugs me how Captain America can dodge every bullet shot at him for 1 hour and 55 minutes, till its time for the movie to get dramatic at the end and hes gotta take a few in the back for suspence....COME ON!!! Oh and Falcon is a crap character...always was and always will be. Only good thing about it was the heli-carriers destroying each other. RANT OVER. I also enjoyed Nolans Bat stuff....but it is so chronically overrated its fucking unreal. Theres more holes in DKR than a net. Cap II was brilliance......end of. |

I really can't complain about Cap 2 either. The Thor and Hulk movies I wish I could erase from my memory, but the Cap films have been good. Much better than I ever imagined a Captain America movie could be actually.
The only verrrrrry slight thing that bothers me with the movie is that most of it was filmed here Cleveland, and knowing the area so well, it kind of takes me out of the film when I see it all. Only because we're told that it's supposed to be Washington D.C. It's not like watching "Draft Day" and seeing Cleveland and being told that it's Cleveland. If that makes any sense. Also, it would have been great if they had made it so that Cap 2 and Iron Man 3 take place at the same time. It would help explain why Stark and Rogers didn't bother calling each other. Or why SHIELD was no help at all when the President was kidnapped. Just a simple line between Maria Hill and Cap or Widow would have done the job. |

TMNT in IMAX. It was better than the Joe movies by a wide margin but written more poorly than the average superhero film. It seems like they were afraid to give an Asian actor a lot of dialogue, so they made a completely unnecessary American villain to handle all of the big speeches while Shredder just did the fight scenes. Shredder and Karai were the two characters who were written as poorly as all the characters from the Joe movies were.
April was actually written as a much better version of Lois Lane in the beginning of the movie than we got for the actual Lois in the last two Superman movies. But then they involved her in the turtles' origin in a way that strained credibility and plausibility. This was very similar to Rise of Cobra's stupidity in trying to directly involve a bunch of different characters in the movie's backstory as well as present. This scenario presented some of TMNT's many plot holes. It takes a lot of work to make the original turtles' origin seem plausible, but they did it here, by basing this one on crazy coincidences. Megan Fox was perfectly watchable in the movie although there were a few scenes where she forgot to act and just gave a blank stare. They paired her with an unnecessary character as a sidekick who added nothing of interest to the mythos and probably should've been written out. Splinter's personality and performance seemed to be transplanted directly from Pai Mei in Kill Bill. The personalities of the turtles themselves were about as good as you could expect. They were each very distinctive. If we had gotten 4 Joes as distinctive as that, the Joe movies would've worked a lot better. I loved the in-joke crack about someone thinking the turtles were "aliens." The movie had a couple of laughs, not many. The action scenes were decent enough but never really soared. They were implausible too at times but in a fun enough way. Most of these complaints are from a sophisticated adult perspective. As a kid, I think I would have had a fun time with the movie with few complaints. The movie seems properly aimed at its intended younger audience. That was the severe problem with Joe. There was nothing put in them that was easy, uncomplicated fun for kids, a big no-no with a movie that is supposed to sell toys. The TMNT movie should be successful at its intended job of selling toys at Christmas. Last edited by JediJones; 09-14-2014 at 02:27 AM.. |

The Thomas Crown Affair - The best movie Pierce Brosnan will ever make. I read that John McTiernan wants to make a sequel and worked on a script while he was in prison. I really hope they can make that happen.

The Conan remake.
Good God it was awful. I had no objection to Momoa as Conan but it was rubbish unfortunately. |
